Chapter 9

"Dude, are you excited?" Ratchet said munching on some chips.

"I guess so," I said. We left the hotel room and said our goodbyes to the gang. I followed James's instructions and went to the airport with Ratchet and right now we're on our way to gate B-14. I made sure I brought some money in my back pocket just in case. When I told Ratchet that James said "just to wear the clothes on our backs," he thought he better get cozy while flying. So he threw on a pair of plaid shorts, sneakers, and a t-shirt along with the usual sunglasses and headphones because of his super hearing and super sight. I, on the other hand just got sweatpants a t-shirt and the usual sneakers, but I decided to bring my phone just in case.

"Bro look ahead!" Ratchet said pointing about a couple yards ahead.

On the sign it showed an arrow that said B-14 was just around the corner.

"So exciting!" Ratchet said tossing the chips in a trash can.

"Ratchet, you act like you've never flown before?" I said checking the surroundings make sure this whole thing isn't an Itex trap.

"Well not like this, I mean were going to a boot camp for a month and I'm excited! Ratchet said smiling like crazy.

"At least you're happy," I said noticing my rare smile showing.

We turned the corner and saw the gate number along with the superficial guys standing in suits all over the place. As we got closer Ratchet and I noticed something nobody could have missed. Standing there talking to one of the guys in black was a girl with dark purple looking hair, it was in a messy bun and she was wear army cameos. She heard our footsteps and turned around to look at us, she had bright green eyes to go along with her hair. My first though, was she an experiment?

"You must be Fang?" She asked holding out her hand towards me, I took it. "I'm the supervisor."

"Oh, yeah James told me I was supposed to meet you here." I said looking into her bright green eyes.

"I'm Ratchet!" Ratchet said grabbing her hand and shaking it.

"Pleasure," she said looking a little bit scared which made me smile.

"So what about this boot camp?" I asked.

"Oh yeah I'll tell you about that on the flight there, but right now you just need to go through some security." She said pointing over to the security check area.

Ratchet and I walked over there and took off our shoes, I took my phone and my money out of my pants and put it into the box and walked through the metal detector. Ratchet did the same and took out his iPod and sunglasses and put them into the box and walked through the metal detector.

"Okay just follow me." She said leading us into the plane

We grabbed our stuff out of the boxes and walked up the stairs into the small but expensive plane. Once inside the supervisor turn around and faced us. "Please take a seat I'll be with you shortly."

"Okay thank you," I said then she walked in to the pilot's room. Ratchet fell on the nice red couch that was under a bunch of windows.

"This is the life." He said stretching out on the couch.

I went and sat down on the opposite couch from Ratchet.

"You ready for this?" Ratchet asked.

"I hope so." I said giving a slight smile.
